“I'm saving you from squandering your money on these enterprises. - Worthless stocks. - They're not. All of them. Well, I still have faith in the Pacific Ocean Power Company. - What's that? - I've told you about it. It's a machine that floats on waves. Wheels that make electricity. What does it make when it's calm? Don't be a pessimist. That's what I mean. Wasting your money on sheer nonsense. Inflation. Very soon money will be worthless. - What have you done? - What do you want to do? Invest wisely, safely at least. Land, houses or jewelry. I knew a friend who has some antique - - That's funny. - What? - Just what I did. - What? - I bought jewelry, diamonds.”
